Hard, sinewy, dauntless, and enduring, he travels day after day and month after month, practically alone "on me Pat Malone," he calls it with or without a black boy, according to circumstances, and five trips out of his yearly eight throwing dice with death along his dry stages, and yet at all times as merry as a grig, and as chirrupy as a young grasshopper.
It was a tiny monkey no larger than a squirrel, with soft brown fur and tufted ears. The little animal pulled free, jumped onto Rick's shoulder and kissed him ecstatically, making happy chirrupy noises. "What on earth is a monkey doing here?" Dr. Bond smiled. "Prince Machiavelli is more than a monkey," he replied. "Actually, he is a true marmoset of the genus Callithrix.
She would toss all her hair over her face and dance wildly up and down, and contort that same little, funny, freckled face into all sorts of grimaces; and when the baby laughed and crowed, and made chirrupy sounds, she was abundantly satisfied.
It was at this moment, when he had urged the car to its highest speed, that a noise startled him an amazing little chirrupy sound which corresponded to none of the familiar forewarnings of engine trouble. With his eyes to the front he listened for a repetition of the sound. It rose again it was like a perplexing cheep and chirrup, changing to a chortle of glee. "Goo-goo! Goo-goo-goo!"
"I'm sorry," said Primrose; "some things at home are troubling me, and I cannot help thinking about them. I shall do better over the gossip." "That's right, my love! I'd ask you about the home troubles, but my nerves won't stand no worriting. Get on with the gossip, dear, and make your voice chirrupy and perky, as though you saw the spice of it all, and enjoyed it do."
Horace was not naturally a short-tempered youth, but there was something in the tone of this self-satisfied lawyer's clerk which raised his dander. "Not much of a berth, is it?" pursued the catechist. "No," said Horace. "Not a very chirrupy screw, so I'm told eh?" This was rather too much.
Mortlock placed herself in the most comfortable arm-chair the room afforded, and having secured her victim, began instantly to tyrannize over her. "Now, Miss Slowcum, read up chirrupy and cheerful please. None of your drawling, by way of genteel voice, for me I like my gossip crisp. I will say this of that dear girl Primrose Mainwaring, that she did her gossip crisp."
"In this case, ladies and gentlemen, I beg to reverse the familiar words, for amid all your joy I have lost my 'continual reader. She had her faults no, I'm not going to deny that being young she had her faults but she was ever good-natured, and she did her gossip chirrupy." Of course the girls' future was now assured, for Arthur was a very rich man.
"You look more chirrupy than you have for several days." "It's that beast, McCune; young Fisbee is rather queer about it, and I felt stirred up as I went along." But even before the sentence was finished the favor of age and utter weariness returned, and the dark lids closed over his eyes.
Down on the flat along the edge of the pandanus grove the preliminary chords are uttered a merry, unreflective, chirrupy strain, gay as "the Fishermen's Chorus." The motive is taken up nearer among the coco-nuts, and is in full swing in the pools below the terrace.
